Mayor Timerhoff and the two new
Councilmen W. L. Richards and
Frank Whisman were inducted into
office last evening and after the
formal ceremony had been conclud
ed the new Mayor made the ap
pointments and announced the stand
ing committees as noted above.
There was no sensational incident
to mark the incoming reform admin
istration and the expected recommcn
dations from the new mayor along
those lines did not materialize, he
probably reserving them for a later
date. But there was a sentimental
feature that marked the transition
in the Jnctmibency of the office of
the chief executive of the municipal-;
hy when the retiring mayor was
presented with a gold watch on be
half of the citizens of Prescott. Mr.
Goldwater was completely taken by
surprise and he was so affected by
the token of appreciation of his ser
vices that he was overcome with
emotion when he attempted to re
spond in giving expression to his
thanks.
When the old council had con
cluded its labors which consisted
at this session in the hearing of re
ports of city officials and the allow
ing of bills, Mayor Goldwater said:
It was in 1879 when I first took
office in Prescott and I don't recol
lect how many times I have served
as councilman or as mayor. I am
now the oldest as well as the young
est ex-mayor of the city and as to
my record, I can only refer to the
records of the city clerk. In re
tiring I have no recommendations
to offer and believe the new mem
bers of this body are thoroughly
capable of administering the affairs
of the city without any suggestion
from me. I have always found my
associates on the council courteous
and we have worked together with
out friction or trouble. I now take
great pleasure in presenting my suc
cessor, Mr. Timerhoff."
In assuming his seat. Mayor Tim
erhoff said: "I appreciate the honor
of the position not only because
it was bestowed upon me by my
fellow citizens but also because I
have succeeded as good a mayor as
you have made. I feel the people
of Prescott appreciate your faithful
and efficient services, and if I am
able to leave the office at the end
of my term and shall have made
as good a record, I shall feel that
their faith has not been unfounded.
In behalf of the citizens for whom
you have labored so well I desire
to present you with this token of
esteem. As time passes and you
look upon this memento, I hope you
will bear in mind the esteem of the
citizens of Prescott for yourself."
He then handed Mr. Goldwater a
case containing a valuable Howard
gold watch upon the exterior of
which is engraved this inscription:
Presented by Citizens of Prescott
111 recognition of his services.
MAYOR,
MORRIS GOLDWATER.
After viewing the token for a few
seconds Mr. Goldwater undertook to
respond but after speaking a few
words, his voice became husky and
he almost choked with emotion. "I
can truly say," said he, "that this
is a surprise. I have always tried
to do my duty I have not tried to
ETIRING MAYOR
please everybody but have always
tried to do right. I appreciate this
all the more because I was not ex
pecting anything of the kind. I
would have appreciated it if I knew
that my work had been appreciated
by only a few." Here the speaker
broke down and finally added: "I
hope you will excuse me if I say
nothing more at this time."
The new officials were then sworn
in by City Clerk Robinson and May
or Timerhoff announced that he
would make no address at this time.
He said that the members had held
an informal conference during the
week and had reached a conclusion
as to some of the work that was
planned. He hoped to be able to
make some recommendations and
trusted that his colleagues would not
hesitate to offer suggestions which
they deemed would be of benefit to
the city. He then announced the
Standing Committees and made the
appointments listed above, which
were ratified unanimously by the
council.
Mrs. Jay. Wallace filed a written
demand upon the city for $10,000
damages alleged to have been sus
tained on December 4, 1912, by fall
ing into a cut on South Montezuma
street. She' also asks for $250 for
medical services and for $50 a month
for loss of time from date of in
jury to the date of trial. The mat
ter was referred to Councilman Head
for investigation and report at next
meeting.
The matter of co-operating with
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Monday Club or arranging for a
Cleaning Day, was referred to the
Sanitary Committee.
The Mayor announced that he had
been approached by a number of
ladies in reference to a bill that was
to be submitted to the legislature
for the establishment of an orphans
home. They desired the city to do
nate a tract of land for the insti
tution. After some discussion as to
available sites, the Cpuncil voted
as favoring the proposition.
The matter of placing metallic
street .signs at all of the corners,
was referred to the street commit
tee. The clerk was authorized to ad
vertise for bids for the city print
ing, fuel oil for Del Rio, and for
feeding the city prisoners. The city
printing contract upon the sugges
tion of the Mayor will include the
publishing of the minutes of each

Called to Protect Him
(From Tuesday's Dally)
As the outcome of the dismissal
from the Pioneer's Home in this city
of E. G. Bradley, a small-sized mu
tiny occurred on Sunday, in which
eight members forcibly resisted the
expulsion of their companion, and
for a time threatening demonstra
tions we're in evidence.
The climax came on Gurlcy
street, when Superintendent Cold
well enlisted the protection of Under
Sheriff Raible, so demonstrative was
the wrath of those who were support
ing the evicted pioneer. One re
port was in circulation that Bradley
had been ordered dismissed by the
Governor and Board of Control, but

committed the assault. He was
warned not to make the trip. Zieg

BELIEVE HE IS DEAD
(From Sunday's Daily.)
Contrary to many rumors in cir
culation that Irwin Cain had been
killed at Ash Fork a week ago by
having his back broken, and on Fri
day had been run over by a train
ou the Verde Valley line, the doom
ed man continues to breathe freely
and perform his duties as brakeman
as competently as the liveliest of
trainmen. This information was giv
en yesterday by H. C. Storey, super
intendent of the S. F. & P. railway
in this city, who was in communi

few hours before he was qucstincd
by many friends for information.

the aggrieved members who figured
in the open revolt state the dis
missal was the personal action of
the superintendent and without any
grounds. At any rate chaotic con
ditions are prevailing at the home,
and Sunday's demonstration was in
keeping with the restless state of
affairs prevailing in that institution.
Bradley was admitted from Clifton.
Up to last night he had not been
reinstated. A dozen or more pio
neers are very earnest in their ex
pressions, and yesterday gave vent
to their feelings in this and other
matters linked to the management
of that institution.

(From Tuesday's Daily)
Harry Harter answered the sum
mons from the Unknown yesterday
morning at about 10:00 o'clock,
passing away at Mercy Hospital
from pneumonia after an illness of
nearly three weeks.
His death has created expressions
of deep regret in ' this commnnity,
enjoying as he did a wide popularity
after a residence of over "ten years.
He was a man of splendid fellow
ship, and on any public occasion was
always in the lead with that spirit
of cheer and good will- that gave
him an excellent name in furthering
any cause for the benefit of the pub
lic at large. One of his splendid
characteristics was his open-handed
generosity, and the many kind acts
he extended the cause of charity will
be a tribute to his memory that will
be cherished.
In an effort to save his life, he
was taken to Mercy hospital Sunday
morning where an operation was
deemed advisable, his affliction as
suming a grave condition for sever
al days.
He was aged about 54 years and
a native of California. His only re
lative is a widow, who was faithfully
at his, side from beginning to end,
aifd to whom the sympathy of all
in this city is extended in' the be
reavement that is inconsolable. The
funeral wjll be announced later.

Federation Meeting.
"I was most agreeably surprised
by the speeches that I heard at
Douglas before the Annual Conven
tion of the Arizona Federation of
Women's Clubs. The breadth and
information of the Arizona women
certainly surprised me. I anticipat
ed hearing something cxceptionally
good, but the addresses and discus
sions far exceeded my expectations."
This statement was recently made
by Governor George Hunt, upon
his return from Douglas. He made
an address before the Federation
Convention aftd dined with the dele
gates at the Gadsden Hotel,
"Mrs. Pennybacker, president of
the National Federation of Wom
en's Clubs, made a brilliant address"
the governor said. "She is one of
the most remarkable women I ever
met. Another "address in which I
was keenly interested with that of
Dr. Agnes McKee Wallace, presi
dent of the State Federation."
"Addresses of welcome were de
livered by Mrs. J. Calisher and Mrs.
E. R. Pirtle of Douglas. The en
tire program was most interesting.
After the morning session, I was the
guest of the ladies at the Gadsden
Hotel. Alfred M. Sames and Judge
A. F. Parsons were the only other
men present. I enjoyed myself so
thoroughly that I came near missing
my train."
